I have no voice for the first time ever in my life. Me, the hard core greens drinking, vitamin taking, yoga doing person is not at her best.

I asked myself WHY????

Well, I am in the middle of some growing pains- some major transitions on all fronts of my life. My business consultant & mentor reminded me that our bodies, not just our emotions, respond to change. Change can be painful not just emotionally, but also physically!

Outside of my need for more rest (because when we sleep is when we heal), I am on a regimen of lots of water, warm things like hot tea, sunshine and cuddles with puppy dogs, connecting time with wonderful friends and family, and the wonder woman pose (click the picture if you need further explanation).

In case you were curious about what I've been up to and why I've been so absent, here's a quick recap:Arkansas Cornbread Festival"I can't believe it's not cornbread" muffins for 3,000 peoplePhoto Shoots for my Book!-photographer Brook Scalzo and stylist Caitlin HartLetting Go of My Little Rock cottage & Adopting the Country Life AgainCorporate Chair Massage-Cuz they're the ones who need it! and I'm raising money for my book tour!
